Like a vapid vapour rising up in the air,
Rubbing against my rough skin
That I could not even feel,
Like dreamless osmosis, it departed from my soul
Snatching all life away. Yes,
The dream came to depart, leaving me
Gasping.
And I could hear the rough voice of dead men,
Rasping.

[Transliteration in English is given below]
Merey dil mein chubhi hai khanjar ki terah,
Woh ek nazar, woh ek khaulti nigah,
Woh ek pal ka waar arsa ban rah gaya,
Chamakti hai kabhi khanjar ki setah,
Tapakti hai khoon kabhi baarish ki terah.
Jao, keh do duniya sey ke aaj
Marney ki chaah nahi,
Puchho ki ek aur pal kehan bikta hai?
Kehan hai woh Yam ki patri
Jo meri zindagi likhta hai?
Kehan hai woh vaidh ki booti
Jo saans ko kheenchey?
Kidhar gayi woh tapti zameen
Jo tha merey pairon ke nichey?
Aaj bhikhari hoon, aaj hoon darinda,
Chahey jo bhi hoon, aaj rahoon zinda,
Ki woh neeli aankhon wali zalim
Phir sey ek nazar ghumaye,
Aur yeh dil par chipka khanjar kuchh aur andar jaaye.
Ki woh kajraari aankhon wali saamney aaye,
Merey zindagi ki kehani likh jaaye.

Phir sooch kar kaisa lagta hai…
Saawan ki aadhi bheegi galiyon se hokar,
Kabhi kisi ganney ki khet mey hilti lahar se hokar,
Kabhi kisi aam ke bagiye mey sar ko chhupakar,
Daanton mey phansa woh dupatta aaj bhi peela hai,
Par hanstey chehrey wali woh pari aaj kanhi ghum hai,
Woh aam ki bagiya aaj maatam main sunn hai.
Aaj bhi yaad hai woh chaney ke chhilkey
Jo khaye thhey hamney saath milkey,
Woh dhool mey gira angoor ka dana,
Golgappey khatey wakt woh sharmana,
Us gali kinarey dheemi aanch mey tapti
Bhelpuri ka makkhan, Kumar Sanu ka gana.
Dhokha diya baadal ney jab phir bijli karki,
Woh maatam ka shor phir simat kar aaya,
Daanton mey phansa dupatta ab sar pey sajaya,
Bedard us baarish ney usey bhi bhigaya.
Us badan ki failti chingari aaj bhi tapti hai kahin andar,
Jalti hai kabhi yaad banker, satati hai kabhi adhoora khaab sa.
Arsa beeta. Peela dupatta aaj na jaaney kehan hai,
Shayad kisi khirki mey pardey ki terah failti hai aaj,
Shayad kisi bazaar mein raddi bikti hai.
Shayad kisi aashiq ki chhaati pey lipti hai,
Kafan bankar kisi adhurey khaab sey chipti hai.

Kinerey wala sofa aaj soona rehta hai,
Subah ko ramu kaka kuch pochha kartey hain,
Shaam tak dhool mein sama jata hai.
Shayad aaj bhi gaddey par kuch chhap chhoota hai,
Shayad aaj bhi rajnigandha murjha pada hai,
Shayad aaj bhi harey churi ka kaanch gira hai,
Shayad.
To aaj, kinarey waley sofey pey gaya,
Dil ki dhadkan jyon ka tyon tha,
Na asmaan sey bijli giri,
Na ped sey nariyal gira.
Haath mein ek khali botal chamak raha hai,
Saamney meri TV par ek chehra nazar aaya,
Kahin dekha hai? Kahin dekha hai.
Dekha hai isi kamrey mein,
Pakda hai inhi hathon mein,
Chooma hai apney hooton sey,
Bithaya hai isi kinarey waley sofey pey.
Wohi kisi namakool shaayar key janazey pey taarif si khokli hansi,
Wohi baisakh key aasman sa bedaag chehra,
Aaj kisi ki kaali daari ko khanroch raha hai,
Kisi aur sofey par,
Isi shahar kinarey.
